Mitchell Unveils New Technology Enhancements

Mitchell International, Inc., a provider of information, workflow, and performance management solutions to the property/casualty claims and collision repair industries, has announced SmartAdvisor will be upgraded to the latest Microsoft development framework, .NET 3.5.

In addition, SmartAdvisor will introduce Custom Report Rebuilder, a new functionality in the SmartReports portfolio to allow users to design, run, and distribute their own custom reports. These technology enhancements will be available in December. SmartAdvisor is a leading medical claim cost containment solution that helps workers' compensation claims payers evaluate and settle their claims faster and more accurately.
"The workers' compensation market has been hit hard in recent years by falling premiums and profitability," says Nina Smith, senior vice president and general manager of Mitchell SmartAdvisor solutions. "A more flexible and responsive medical claims system made possible by the .NET architecture will allow carriers to deploy the cost containment programs and strategies they need within an industry standard technology framework."
The Custom Report Builder is similarly intended to create operational efficiencies. By building on SmartAdvisor's reporting capabilities that places the ability to analyze performance in the payers' hands, SmartReports automates custom report design with drag-and-drop functionality that produces reports in any format.
